When installing Jython 2.7rc2 on OS X 10.10.3, I found that the `$JYTHON_HOME/jython` executable bash script (helpfully provided with previous installers, including 2.7.rc1) was missing.

I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but I must say that the script was very useful and I would be happy to see it restored.

We are phasing out the bash launcher script in favor of the version that uses CPython. This is in part because of bugs, and also because we can be single source on Windows with the generated jython.exe. However, the bash script is still available and will be installed on non-Windows platforms that do not have CPython 2.7. (We will likely complete backporting to some earlier version of CPython as we have time in the 2.7.1 release cycle.)

To find the bash script:

When running the installer, select All (everything, including sources)
then you will find it under src/shell/jython
